Lamborghini’s 60th Anniversary

Automobili Lamborghini is a world-renowned company, with over 2,000 employees and delivering 9,233 cars in 2022. However, when Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company in 1963, he started from scratch. Over the last 60 years, Lamborghini’s headquarters where the iconic cars continue to be created has undergone upgrades, extensions and reconfigurations based on production, environmental and technological needs, but it has never lost its original core structure.

The First Factory

Ferruccio Lamborghini looked for a location to set up his new company and chose the land to build his new factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese, just a few kilometers from his hometown of Cento.  Construction of the initial part of the factory, considered to be one of the most modern of its time, was very fast and finished in just eight months between the autumn and winter of 1963. On October 20 of the same year when Ferruccio Lamborghini invited the press to the launch of the first Lamborghini car, the 350 GTV prototype, the completed main structure of the factory was already visible in the photograph’s background.
